Alpha Ellis

Rainbow after the storm.

The pack is relived to see Raven exit the SUV. The members welcome her home with love and arms wide open. Raven has the same dream about the twins on her way home. she's not sure if it's a way of for her mind to deal with what has happened , or maybe the possibility that she was actually having twins.

Jameson excuses them from the pack quicky. He can feel Ravens broken heart and need to escape all of the attention. Raven quickly thanks her pack for all the kind words and they head for the pack house.

Jameson carries Raven up the stairs to their suite. Being in Jameson's arms feels safe. She's safe enough to break down and deal with her loss. she beings to cry uncontrollably.

Jameson holds her and cries with her. He holds Raven as close to his heart as he can.

Once Raven has cried all the tears she can cry she falls asleep in his arms once more.

Jameson carries Raven to bed and just lays with her watching her sleep. He's so incredibly grateful that she's alive, but he feels responsible for not being there at her side to protect her from the women who stole their happiness.

Raven has the same dream. She dreams of twin babies. The boy and the girl. She dreams of the little girl passing away and watching a baby boy who looks exactly like Jameson grow in to the most beautiful little boy she's ever seen.

Jameson watches as she tosses and turns in her sleep. It's the middle of the night when Raven shoots up out of bed and runs to the bathroom. She's sick. in that moment Raven has a heart warming feeling that it's not just a dream. Her mind is trying to tell her something. Jameson rushes into the bathroom worried about her.

" Raven , are you okay? "

Tears fill her eyes." We had twins. Kit took our little girl , but I'm still pregnant. It's a boy And he's going to look exactly like you." she cries.

" Baby , what are you talking about. The Doctor said" he begins

Raven cuts him off. I know I sound crazy but all my life I've had this kind of curse of knowing things I shouldn't. I think it's the witch blood, but I just know. Please send for Dalton. If I am right then he's the only one who knows about our pregnancy and I need him to confirm it." Raven pleas.

Jameson sends for doctor Dalton and he arrives shortly after. " Luna if your theory is correct it could be why you took longer to wake then expected. Your body may have been working harder because of your remaining baby. " Dalton explains.

The doctor takes blood work and preforms an ultra sound with a portable machine.

" Well I'll be dammed" Dalton exclaims as he looks into the screen of the machine.

Jameson looks at the doctor confused.

" Alpha do you see that small jelly bean shaped dark spot here" Dalton points out.

" Yes , I see it " Jameson gasp.

He doesn't know how Raven knew but she was right.

" That's our baby boy ", Raven exclaims.

"Luna I don't want you to get ahead of your self it will still be a week or two until I can correctly identify the s*x of the baby but it's your baby. " Dalton replies.

"Oh looks like we better get that ceremony over with, before I can't fit the dress your mom had delivered for me. " Raven laughs.

Dalton orders strict bed rest until Saturdays Luna ceremony. Raven has no ideal how she will lay around until then. It's only Wednesday and she's not used to being someone who lays around. Dalton makes a phone call to one of the nurses who brings by some vitamins. He explains that Raven's body has been though a horrendous event and that her body needs more time to heal. Raven hates the ideal but she knows it's best for the health of her rainbow in the storm. After a complete exam and confirmation that the pup is completely healthy. Dalton goes over the orders once more. Raven and Jameson decide to keep the pup a secret for now.

Dalton agrees to be the only person besides one nurse to know of the couples miracle. He leaves the portable ultra sound machine in the guest room. Raven was started on IV fluids to help flush out any remaining silver in her blood stream to prevent any damage to her pup and to keep her hydrated.

Dalton leaves the couple in the early hours of the morning. The sun is just beginning to peak over the mountain tops.

" Jameson , can we name her." Raven ask in a soft voice .

" Of course we can. She will always be our baby girl Raven." He replies.

They lay snuggled up in there comfort of each other. Raven cries while they go over a list of Names for both their Daughter and their son.

A year ago Raven loathed the ideal if being mated to an Alpha. She believed they were egotistical assholes whom only looked at women as lower then they. Someone who could produce heirs for their bloodlines. In such short time Raven has not only found her mats but her whole heart and soul in Jameson. She watched him struggle with the loss of their daughter, but also the joy of finding out they have a healthy baby remaining. Jameson is the big bad wolf to most people. With Raven he's gentle and caring . She sees none of the bad in him that the world sees.

Before this pup Raven had planned to wait at least a year to get to know her mate before starting a family She wanted to be sure it was right. Even with things playing out they way they have she's knows in her heart that Jameson is right for her in so many ways and that he will make the best farther to their pup.

After hours of Back and forth, Lots of tears of both grief and joy they decide on two names. Emilla Annemarie for the little girl and Kingston James for the boy.

Even with Dalton's advice to wait for the s*x of the baby Raven knows in her heart her dreams of a boy and a girl are correct. Sometimes her predictions are off but most of the time they are dead on. She believes in her soul that her and Jameson had twins one of each and the names will stick regardless if the out come of the gender of her pup.

Jameson let's Raven lay in his arms until she finally falls back asleep. He watches as she is peacefully asleep in his arms and he recalls the last 4 days.

He knows that he will protect her and their pup at all cost . The vampire has to go. He will not allow anyone to hurt her every again.

For the first time in his life he knows what true love is. His mother always gushed over him but his father was a different story. He knows he will be a better dad then his was to him.

Jameson mind links Tucker to inform him that Raven still needs rest to recover from the silver knife attack. He ask Tucker to fill in for him for the next few days in his Alpha duties and at the office of his company. Tucker senses something else is going in but agreed to what Jameson ask. He knows that Jameson wouldn't ask unless he needed to be with Raven. Jameson and Tucker are close and he knows that Jameson will fill him in later when the time is right.

The next few days drag for Raven. The morning sickness has come full swing and she feels drained. Dalton comes by once a day to check on her and her pup. Raven's blood work shows that all traces of the silver have been flushed out and her Hgc is rising as expected.

Jameson caters to Her every need and as much as she appreciates her mate, she can't wait for the Luna ceremony. Raven hates being cooped up in their suite. But she loves the one on one time her and Jameson have gotten to share. Dalton hooks the machine up on Friday to check the pups growth and the sweetest sound echos through the machine.

Lub , dub, lub, dub

" It seems like you are right on track Luna. That sound is your pups heart beat." Dalton informs them.

Jameson and Raven just smile at each other. They don't need words when they can feel the joy they each feel though the mate bond.

" Raven when did you say the last day of your heat was?' Dalton ask.

" Um two days before we arrived at the red river pack." She replies.

" You have a large pup already. It's expected when the pup is of two Alpha blood lines. It measures about a week larger then most Werewolf pups. I want to monitor his growth closely every week . We may have to induce your labor. I am worried about your small frame and how large your pup may grow and how quickly. " Dalton informs the expecting parents.

Raven chuckles. " See I told you he will be exactly like his dad. All the way to being a pain in my hind end"

" Hey now I am your favorite pain in the ass" Jameson jokes back .

" yeah , for now pops. soon I'll have a new favorite." Raven picks back .

" Luna it's so nice to see your spirits lifted since I last saw you." Dalton says .

" I have a lot to be thankful for." She replies .

Dalton leaves and Raven and Jameson binge watch a few episodes of their favorite show.

Crystal sends the last of the details for Raven to approve though text message.

Dinner arrives just in time . Becca shows up with an extra rare stake. It's the only thing Raven can seem to keep down these days. She craves it more then anything.

" So I'm would you like to inform me on what's up with the extra rare stake?" Becca ask.

" Oh, I um... I lost a lot of blood with the stabbing. Dr. white says that the iron is good for my healing process." Raven makes an excuse.

" Raven I've been your best friend for 15 years. I know when your lying and I know when my best friend is glowing. Congratulations you two. " Becca gushes.

Jameson looks at the two Confused on how Becca could have figure it out that easily.

" What can I say she really does know me better then I know myself" Raven laughs at him and his confused look.

" Becca please keep this to yourself. We don't want to announce until it feels safe with the vampire king looking for a way to kidnap me. We don't want this news to get out until we've come up with a plan." Raven says to her best friend on a more serious note.

" My lips are sealed" Becca replies using her hands to motion a lock and key being thrown away.

" But I so can't wait to seem my baby nice or nephew. " Becca gushes.

The friends chit chat for a while. It's gives Jameson time to run to his office and catch up on some paper work while he feels safe having Becca there to watch over Raven.

Crystal arrives with the dress for the Luna ceremony tomorrow.

It's a beautiful floor length mermaid gown of ivory and lace. It has a translucent back with a long train . The buttons on the back are beautiful The translucent back makes them appear to be floating down her back. The front is just as beautiful as the back it's a heart shaped top with long sleeves. The sleeves are the same translucent material as the back but they have beautiful hints of rhinestones.

Raven is in love with the dress. It's the first time she's seen it. Crystal asked her to send a few ideals of what she would like. The gown has all of Raven's favorite ideals merged into one dress.

" Crystal it's beautiful" Raven exclaims

" I'm glad you like it dear, now let's try it on you" Crystal smiles as she helps Raven slide into the ceremony dress.

Raven is worried about the dress fitting properly. Because wolves have such short pregnancies they show much quicker then humans. Thankfully the dress fits like a glove.

It hugs all of Ravens curves beautifully and her swollen breast look amazing in the heart line neck.

The two women gush over how beautiful Raven looks in her dress. Raven thinks that she's successful hidden the pregnancy from her mother-in-law. That is until crystal points out how large her breast look in the gown.

" So daughter , when did you and my son want to fill me in on my grandpup" Crystal asks sweetly.

Raven's cheeks turn bright red.

" We wanted to wait until after the ceremony. We just found out after the stabbing and we thought it was best to keep it secret until there was less danger surrounding us. " Raven admits to her mother-in-law.

" I understand that you are both worried . I will keep this to myself until the two of you decide to announce to the pack. Oh but I am so excited my first grandchild!" Crystal says pulling raven in to a death grip hug.

" Oh and one more thing I got this beautiful dress for after the ceremony if you would like to change out of the more formal one for the reception" Crystal says as she pulls a beautiful sapphire dress from one of the bags she's brought with her.

It's the exact color of Jameson's mark

a beautiful princess shaped dress.

The three women visit for a while longer and Finally Jameson returns.

He greets his mom and Becca .

" I should whoop your hind end young man . You may be the Alpha but I am still your mother." Crystal scolds him as he walks through the door.

" She knows doesn't she" he says to Raven.

" She's scarry , besides she figured it out on her own, and I don't think it was wise to lie to my mother-in-law" Raven laughs.

" What a very wise mate you have son , and congratulations to the two of you. I will keep this a secret until it's decided my the two of you to announce. I know there are many dangers lurking still, and this pup is our main priority now." Crystal says as she grabs her son in a bear hug.

Becca and Crystal say thier goodbyes and leave the two mates alone in their suite.

Raven is exhausted from the visit. The first month of pregnancy is the hardest she's heard and so far that's seeming to be true.

Jameson runs them a nice bath and they relax in the warm water together.

Raven is laying against his chest and hee can feel her worry though the bond.

" Do you want to talk about it babe?" He asks.

" I'm just so worried about the vampires. It's been days since we released Jake and no word from him. Now with the pup I'm at risk. I would sacrifice just about anything to keep this pup safe.I'm afraid once news gets out that it will be used against us by the king."

" I actually wanted to talk to you about Jake. I didn't want to say anything while we had company, but I've had contact with him today."

" Well what news did he share" Raven ask desperately.

" After days of questioning by the kinds men it seems that Jake was able to convince him of his escape. He says the king has heard through the grape vine that you have been stabbed. He is waiting to hear if you have survived or not. After tomorrow with the ceremony he will have his answer." Jameson calmly tells her.

" How is that good news Jameson?" Raven ask confused.

" It seems that your mother and father have done an amazing job of keeping your photo out of circulation, besides Jake none of the vampires know what you truly look like. We have come up with a plan. You probably won't like it because it involves using another shewolf as a decoy. It's the best we have right now. After tomorrow's ceremony news will spread that you have survived. The king will continue his plans of trying to get to you. Jake and I have come up with an ideal we can use a girl who fits your description to lure the king into a trap. Jake will capture the fake you and mind fog her into believing she is truly you. We will keep tabs on the girl and watch very closely until the right time to storm the coven and take the King down. " Jameson explains the plan to Raven.

Just as he suspects she is not entirely thrilled about the plan.

"Jameson how can you ask me to put an innocent life in danger." Raven ask.

She's pissed about this plan .

" Well, the goal is to have Jake on the inside making sure there is no danger to the girl. I can't very well use you as bait in your condition Raven. No way in hell will I put you in a situation that may cause me to not only loose you but our pup as well. Do you have any ideal what it was like not knowing If you would wake up after being stabbed? I can't loose you." Jameson says softly.

Raven hates the ideal of someone else taking her place and possibly being in danger. After thinking about what Jameson has said she knows it's the best option they have at this time , but it doesn't make her feel any better about the girl who will play her.

She turns to face Jameson and places her hand on his cheek . " I have no plans of every leaving you any time soon. Your right I do not like this plan at all, but I understand why we have to go through with it. We will never be safe as long as the King is alive. By chance we have a daughter if not now then later. She will also be at risk for the danger I am in now. "

" I know baby. I knew you wouldn't like it but it's the best we could come up with. Now let's let it be for tonight and enjoy our time together before tomorrow. I have a surprise for you" He tells her.

" I hate surprises" Raven huffs.

" I think you will like this one. " He teases

Raven and Jameson spend the rest of the night cuddled up in the over sized bed watching their favorite show. Raven tires to put all the vampire problems out of her head at least for the next few days, so that she can enjoy her Luna ceremony.

Jameson cuddles Raven as close as he can hold her. He gently caressing her belly where his pup is safely tucked.

In this moment things feel so safe and right. It's a moment that Raven will cherish in the days to come when things get rough.
